Add

See Also: Math Functions, Move, Subtract

Purpose

To perform addition.

Syntax

Add {value} to {variable}

Where {value} is a variable, a constant, or an expression; and {variable} is any variable.

What It Does

The Add command adds the value of {value} to the value of {variable}.

The following two lines of code do the same thing:

Move (invoice.amount + vendor.total_due) to vendor.total_due

Add invoice.amount to vendor.total_due

Using add and subtract commands (rather than expressions) can make your programs easier to understand. This is especially true when using the command with expressions.

Add (invoice.amount - invoice.discount) To vendor.total_due

instead of

Move (vendor.total_due + (invoice.amount – invoice.discount)) To vendor.total_due
